Set in a brilliant position, with Glastonbury and Wells both within easy reach and both offering a wonderfully different experience. Glastonbury is packed full of eclectic stores as well as mainstream and its ancient Medieval Tor is well worth a visit, with views for miles and miles to be enjoyed. England’s smallest city of Wells has its beautiful cathedral, local markets and mix of independent and chain stores as well as numerous cafés and restaurants to enjoy. For some designer shopping head to the discount factory outlet of Clarks Village to find a bargain or 2. Wookey Hole caves are a short drive away as is the town of Cheddar with its famous Gorge and of course traditional Cheddar Cheese! You will never run out of fabulous places to explore while staying at Walnut Lodge!

Walnut Lodge is the perfect escape for the hustle and bustle life. Sitting on the veranda playing board games overlooking Glastonbury Tor at sunset was a daily highlight for us!

Another visit to Walnut Lodge! A very quiet and relaxing place to stay. Superbly appointed and equipped. Even welcoming gifts of local beer and cider ... and some fine chocolates. Host as always friendly and helpful. Excellent base from which to explore Wells, the Mendips and the Somerset levels.Highly recommended.

We had a great time at Walnut Lodge. Great location central to visit sights in Wells, Glastonbury & Street. The lodge was cosy & warm, and everything within it was easily accessible, ideal for us as my wife has limited mobility. The views from the lodge were beautiful and the iconic Glastonbury Tor was centre stage. Our hosts Tim & Laura were welcoming and provided us with anything we needed. We’d love to return at some point in the future!
